PCl_(5) is an example of a molecule having sp^(3)d-hybridisation. Three out of the orbitals in sp_(x)p_(y)-hybridisation while remaining two have p_(x)d_(x^(2))-hybridisation. If P-atom is attached to substitutuents differ in electronegativity, as in PCl_(x)F_(5-x), then it is has been experimently observed that the more electronegativity substituent occupies the axial position of t.b.p geometry.

1.	PCl_(5) is an example of a molecule having sp^(3)d-hybridisation. Three out of the orbitals in sp_(x)p_(y)-hybridisation while remaining two have p_(x)d_(x^(2))-hybridisation. If P-atom is attached to substitutuents differ in electronegativity, as in PCl_(x)F_(5-x), then it is has been experimently observed that the more electronegativity substituent occupies the axial position of t.b.p geometry. Q. The incorrect statement regarding PCl_(2)F_(2) molecule will be:
Answer» given compound is polar both AXIAL POSITION occupied by F-atoms both Cl atoms PRESENT in EQUATORIAL position one Cl atom present at axial and other Cl atom is present at equatorial position ofgeometry Answer :D
